Maqamat (Assemblies) of al-Hariri

The earliest example is found in a copy of the Maqamat (1333–4; Vienna, Österreich. Nbib., MS. A.F. 9). The style of illustration has many similarities with contemporary Koran illumination (see §3(i) above) and the chinoiserie style found in Iranian manuscripts of the same period (see §§(b) and (c) below). All the manuscripts in this tight group are lavishly decorated. The paintings are executed on a gold ground and have a thick gold frame surrounded by a ruled blue line with finials at each corner. The text is ornamented with whirling gold rosettes and illuminated chapter-headings in the manner of contemporary Korans. Despite the gold ground, the illustrations experiment with landscape and composition; they use the frame to create spatial tension and allow figures or animals to break out of it for increased dramatic effect. These spatial experiments and the exotic flora and fauna depicted—lotuses, peonies, gnarled trees, phoenixes and dragons—show the impact of Chinese pictorial conventions, which were probably received via Persian illustrated manuscripts as well as from the Chinese textiles and porcelains so popular at the Mamluk court. A new figural type with heavy Mongol features and thick black hair is probably intended to resemble members of the Mamluk élite."
2) "Before the end of the 14th century most patrons and collectors of illustrated literary manuscripts were not the Turkish-speaking Mamluks but educated members of the Arabic-speaking middle class, which included the sons of Mamluks. Several illustrated manuscripts contain the names of sons of Mamluks, and, although Arab patrons were not in the habit of adding their names to manuscripts, the name of a tax inspector from Damascus appears on a copy (1323; London, BL, Add. MS. 7293) of the Maqamat (‘Assemblies’) of al-Hariri, which he bought in 1375–6. Many of the texts popular with these patrons—the tales of the roguish adventurer Abu Zayd that al-Hariri brought together in his Maqamat..."full view, 200

The Function of Poetry in the Maqamat al-Hariri
No full textThe Maqamat al-Hariri is one of the most notable examples of prose in Arabic literature. Called one of the most eloquent statements of medieval Arabic prose, it also serves as a religious, social, cultural, and political document of the Abbasid Caliphate. As a writer, al-Hariri became a famous figure in Arabic literature after writing his maqamat. This dissertation studies al-Hariri as a poet through his most important prose work, the Maqamat al-Hariri.
Chapter 1 of the dissertation provides an overview of the maqama genre, including its definition, themes, stylistic features, character types, a brief history of maqamat studies, and illustrations of maqamat genre. Furthermore, the review presents a brief biography of al-Hariri and his most famous text, the Maqamat al-Hariri, with a focus on his reasons for writing the work. Finally, the review contains a detailed discussion of the Maqamat al-Hariri, including its format, setting, prefatory material, content, structure, characters, locations, styles, commentaries, illustrations, and legacy.
Chapter 2 examines the themes, language, and structure in al-Hariri’s poetry, including the two types of poetry in the Maqamat al-Hariri. The chapter also looks at the function of poetry in the Maqamat al-Hariri; the use of trickery in al-Hariri’s poetry; the placement of poetry in the Maqamat al-Hariri; al-Hariri’s poetic themes; the poetic exchanges between the protagonist (Abu Zayd al-Saruji) and the narrator (al-Harith ibn Hammam); the poetic language of the Maqamat al-Hariri; and meters and rhymes in the Maqamat al-Hariri.
Chapter 3 considers the community issues in al-Hariri’s poems, focusing on political, social, religious, and psychological aspects.
Chapter 4, which examines al-Hariri’s superiority over all other Arabic poets, is divided into three sections: al-Hariri’s superiority over other classical Arab poets; al-Hariri’s superiority over al-Hamadhani; and al-Hariri’s superiority over the poets of his own era. The chapter compares poetry in eight maqamat written by al-Hamadhani and al-Hariri.
The Conclusion, discusses the significance of the Maqamat al-Hariri in medieval and modern Arabic literature, and argues that more studies on maqama poetry will help to advance this important academic topic
